How to make a flower candle in just 20 minutes?
The reading time is 2 minutes
Did you know that flower candles can be made independently at home?
Surely you've seen such candles in Pinterest and you've had a desire to give someone such a gift. Did you know that you can do them yourself at home?
It seems to many that it is difficult to make such realistic candle-flowers, and because of this, unfortunately, the idea of a beautiful creative hobby is being abandoned. You don't know where to get the tested materials. I want to earn money from creativity, but it scares me how to sell them, because it's a pity to burn them and they burn out quickly.
But over the past few years, as this art has appeared all over the world, even a new profession "candle florist" has appeared.
That's why today I want to tell you how things really are? Make yourself comfortable, then there will be only good news, however, candles-flowers are always something "pleasant".

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Natalia. I've been a candle florist for a 2 years now.
And the only thing I regret is: Why didn't I go into candles sooner?
-
In this niche, I found an outlet for myself, pleasure, beauty and aesthetics, and even a basic income: from a hobby to a sustainable project. - I was so inspired by candle making that I discovered the author's technique of making wax paper and registered a patent, wrote a book about flower candles, opened a large course with more than 45 flowers and 6 of all existing techniques for making flower candles.
- I couldn't even dream of it! And that's all in 2 years. It's just love!
My creative journey began 8 years ago with epoxy resin, but wax and candles have literally turned my life around.
I'm not just talking about candles. I'm talking about going back to myself. I'm talking about a life in which you can create beauty, feel and at the same time have an income. I'm talking about a gentle but confident force. I'm talking about a new version of a woman — free, creative, beautiful and calm.
By the way, you can always contact me via telegram to talk or ask for advice.
My nickname on telegram is @natali0399

Types of candle-flower making techniques
There are basic hot assembly techniques and new cold assembly techniques.
Let's talk about the basic method.
Let's create a David Austin rose candle in a delicate white color.
Let's talk about the basic method.
Let's create a David Austin rose candle in a delicate white color.
- WaxYou will need natural clarified beeswax to make it. Wax granules should be quite sticky and when squeezed into a fist, a dense lump of wax should form.
- AssemblingNext, the petals are bent with your fingers, or you can use a maracas or a skewer to beautifully bend the edge, and then the petal is dipped in hot wax and attached to the bud, so the bud is assembled. And since we dip the petal in hot wax in the process, this method of assembly is called hot.
- The petalsHeat the wax in a water bath or in a ladle on the stove and then use a regular spoon to pour the wax onto the mat in the shape of circles. These will be rose petals.
- The wickWhen the bud is completely ready, the knitting needle is heated and the candle is pierced through in order to insert the wick.
The process of creating a flower candle in a basic technique
The basic techniques are the hot candle assembly method.
The entire process of creating such a candle
will take 30 minutes from start to finish. We will get a rose with a diameter of 6-7 cm, weighing 50 grams. This candle burns for 1-1.5 hours. Such candles are often ordered for weddings and anniversaries, when you need to give a gift and pay attention to each person and at the same time save the budget.
You can also make candles larger by pouring larger petals and more in quantity. The assembly time may take either the same or a little longer.
Previously, it was with basic techniques that girls started their candle journey, until wax paper appeared, which turned the process of creating candles into a real pleasure!
Of course, it takes more than 30 minutes and your desire to get started in the candle business. You need to understand the technology itself, what kind of wax to take, what related materials are needed, choose the right dyes, wicks, and you need to know other nuances. I don't want to scare you, it's just that in any business, in order to become a master, you need to understand the little things and have special knowledge.
But how do you make a flower candle in 20 minutes?
To do this, you will need a new bud assembly method - wax paper.

To do this, you will need a new bud assembly method - wax paper.
A new method of candle assembly is wax paper technology.
I told you about the basic techniques, now let's talk about a new way.

Wax paper is a cold candle assembly method.
This is a cold method of assembly, because here the petals are no longer dipped in hot wax, but simply pressed against the bud and stick themselves. This is due to the fineness of the wax paper petals and its special composition, a special wax mixture is made here.
It is thanks to wax paper that it became possible to create one candle in 20 minutes!
Wax paper is sheets of wax of a rather large A4 size, and for wax, believe me, this is a large size. Also, the paper is thin, flexible, sticky, while the sheets are durable, they do not tear during operation. All this makes wax paper incredibly interesting to work with.
The wax paper technology is currently patented, and my author's method of making it is recognized as unique all over the world.
Wax paper not only makes it easier to assemble a candle-flower, but also makes it possible to make veins on the petals using special silicone molds, to sculpt flower details, such as stamens and pistils, as if from plasticine. And as a result, the candle turns out to be more realistic and almost indistinguishable from a living flower. It's just unique!
How to work with wax paper?
Another feature and charm of wax paper is that it is very easy to work with it. Wax paper petals can simply be torn into the desired shape, as I often do for roses, or cut using cutters or a heat cutter. It can be made in various colors and even with color variations.
Wax paper opens up much greater possibilities in candle art than basic techniques, because even small flowers can be made from it and petals can be bent more strongly, in general, absolutely any flowers can be made from it. Basic techniques, of course, do not give such freedom, but everything has its advantages.
If you don't have time at all, start making small buds, which only take 20 minutes to create.
The wax paper flower is assembled even faster than in the basic technique. That is, we can assemble a small bud in 20 minutes, and a larger one in 30 minutes. This is a great advantage of this technology over all others. You can't buy wax paper anywhere, but you can learn how to make it. I prepare it in advance and then make candles.
Wax paper cannot be bought anywhere, the rights to it are protected by a patent and trademark, but you can learn how to make it. I prepare it in advance and then make candles.

What should I do if I'm afraid to start? Is it scary to take on a new candle business?
I have created 5 commandments of a successful candle florist that always help me.:
- Self-acceptanceI accept my desire to create beautiful things and give myself time and opportunity to grow without stress, in silence, just to create for myself.
- Awaken yourselfAll good craftsmen are ordinary women and they didn't immediately produce masterpieces, it takes time, which means I can awaken myself.
- Create the beautifulThe creative process is beautiful in itself, so I don't lose anything if I start, on the contrary, what if I do — and it's beautiful right away, and you can sell, so I'll just start with one petal
- Create for yourselfIf my hands are shaking and I can't attach a petal, it means I'm very sensitive, I need time, and I'll try again later and create for myself.
- Start smallCandle making can be a great hobby, I don't have to sell right away, make to order and create a business, I can come to everything gradually, I'll start small.
What if you suddenly want more than “for yourself"?
Is it possible to build a candle-flower business and how?
Is it possible to build a candle-flower business and how?
Yes, it is possible. I can share information about what needs to be considered in order to start the process:
1. The range of candles. It should be diverse, and the buyer should have a choice. These can be flower candles in the bud and on the stem, twig candles, soy candles with floral decoration.
2. Own brand. I advise you to think about the concept of your products. What are they for? What they will give to people. Come up with a bright name that matches your idea and think of a beautiful package. Nowadays, individuality is valued.
3. Seasonality. This is important to consider in the flower candle niche. Therefore, from April to November is the season for flower candles in bud and on stems. In winter, I switch to soy candles in containers with floral decorations and to interior candles, the creation of which I discuss in my 2nd Big Course, "Interior Candles." This allows me to grow my business year-round and earn income from my passion, regardless of the season.
4. Customer search. There should be many customer search points. Here we can distinguish: social networks, as well as avito as online sales, markets and fairs as offline sales, cooperation with flower salons, beauty salons, etc., as well as word of mouth.
5. Qualifications. As your skills grow, you can not only make custom products, but also start conducting master classes yourself or in a studio.
6. Expansion. In any case, to get more, you need to invest more. Investing in advertising can increase sales. When your turnover starts to stabilize, you can think about investing in advertising to expand.
